Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators


Interesting interview from a couple weeks ago with Garth Powell of Audioquest who seriously decries the use of AC regenerators with a detailed argument. I’m not qualified to affirm or rebut that argument, but since people debate "conditioners vs. regenerators" here, I’m passing it along for your inspection.

Notice that he doesn't mention ps audio and that ps audio defends its regenerators (as exempt from Garth's critique) in the comments. Not sure how many other regenerators out there beyond ps audio.

@mijostyn - I have a similar connection scheme with similar results, low/no noise and great dynamics.  Dedicated lines for two amps and a third dedicated line to an Isoclean filter for all the front-end stuff.  No regenerators, etc.  Maybe I am lucky not to live in a big city or somewhere else with crappy power, but never understood the need for these things.
